Depending on IQ and other cognitive abilities, people with intellectual or cognitive impairments may not be able to write, spell, sign documents, or otherwise communicate through written word. Options to accommodate include:

Provide templates or forms to prompt information requested

Allow verbal response instead of written response

Allow typed response instead of written response

Use voice input on computer

Use spell-check on computer

Use a scribe to write the employee’s response

Provide ample space on forms requiring written response
